Though cheap at the surface of the shaft, it is high-priced by the time it reaches the eastern countles. But with a el r haul the Red river valley and coun- try castward would look more definitely westward instead of eastward to far off Pennsylvania for coal supply. This would circumvent the coal barons sts, who now bleed every burner of coal, for so much of central Dakota is un- derlafd with coal that, if a trust should buy up townships of present farms by the hun- there would still b nty of farmers would sink a shaft and supply the at fair prices. lignite coal of North is worth about 70 the ave coal of the United North Dakota produced in 1892 40,725 tons.
